New Single, Grandfather’s Country, out now!
Ásì Keyi means My Grandfather’s Country. That is what we call our homelands here in Kluane. This wild and free land that is family. Our story is etched into the trails, it’s in the water that feeds the boreal forest and in the blood of the animals that feed us. I have often wondered at the stories of my grandmother and her memories of her parents and grandparents who lived during the end of an era, before there was contact and colonization. What did they see when they looked out onto this land? I turn to a song that my great Grandfather made. With a few short phrases and a melody he captured the profound emotions of connection, loss and true love. -Diyet

Diyet & The Love Soldiers' new album, 'Seeds Of Dreaming' reaches across the width of Americana music with a focus on lyrical stories that take the listener on a journey through Diyet’s roots. Each song is grounded in her life in Kluane and her experience as an Indigenous woman living life while walking in two worlds. Inspired by vast landscapes, clashing and embracing worlds, Diyet’s heartfelt lyrics paint a picture of wildness, truth, hope, reconciliation, history and the community that surrounds her.
The nine songs on "Seeds of Dreaming' were written during the last 5 years of touring across Canada, Alaska, the circumpolar North & Europe. The album was recorded and produced by Love Soldier, Bob Hamilton at Old Crow Studios in Whitehorse, Yukon, in collaboration with Diyet and fellow Love Soldier, Robert van Lieshout. The majority of the musical unfolding happened over a week in January where Diyet and The Love Soldiers gathered a variety of Northern musicians to workshop and press record. The results of his session became the musical foundation for the album.
